How to Shop GoodByeCityLife's Country Living Store

All products listed within the store are managed and maintained through eBay (for your peace of mind).

Step 1. To get your new eBay buyer's account with added features that make online shopping easier, click eBay! account.

Step 2. When you're viewing any product listing page in our store, simply click the product name or the "Place a bid" link to view the entire listing and description. You can then watch the item, bid on the item, or keep surfing for other products.

Step 3. Your eBay buyer's account will notify you when the item is about to end - giving you ample time to revisit the product listing and place a competitive bid on the item to ensure you get the best price.  If you're worried about missing out on the sale ensure you place a high enough bid to win the item when you first see it. eBay will automatically increase your bid (only to your highest bid amount) every time someone else tries to out bid you.

eBay and PayPal - The Internet's Most Trusted for Online Shopping

All products displayed in the Country Living Store are registered, listed and managed by eBay (the internet's largest auction site and a trusted source) and most products are purchased through PayPal's secure shopping environment. 

Purchases made through PayPal are protected through PayPal's Buyer Protection Policy and is the preferred payment method for most eBay buyers and sellers. PayPal enables you to send payments quickly and securely online using a credit card or bank account. Once you select PayPal as your payment method you will be immediately redirected to the PayPal site to send your payment. PayPal accounts are free here. There is no charge to use the PayPal service as a buyer.

Once on PayPal you choose how you would like to fund your payment for a product. You can use your checking account, credit card, or any available PayPal balance if you've sold items on eBay in the past. When using PayPal for high-priced eBay purchases you may be required to have a credit card billing address registered at PayPal first before a seller will ship the item to you. On PayPal this is called a "confirmed address". 

Here are some of the most talked about and appreciated advantages to using PayPal.

  • Your payment is traceable.

  • Your payment is conveniently made and immediately sent to the seller. (You pay directly from the item listing page and payment is deposited directly into the seller's account.)

  • Using PayPal ensures that you do not need to use your credit card for online purchases (you can transfer directly from your bank account).

  • Using PayPal prevents sellers or anyone else from knowing your credit card number (PayPal encrypts your number through their secure server) - this limits the potential risk of unauthorized use. 

  • PayPal offers 'Buyer Protection' on all eligible transactions up to $200 at no additional cost. Majority of eBay transactions may be covered up to $2000.

Never send your credit card by email to a seller, to GoodByeCityLife, or for that matter to eBay or PayPal. All credit card or personal information of any kind, should only ever be entered into a secure website browser page (which you'll recognize by the web page url beginning with https, instead of http, and/or a small padlock icon in one corner of your browser window.
